平遙民郭明奇等以噶禮庇貪婪知縣王綬，走京師詣巡城御史袁橋列訴。 Pingyao commoners Guo Mingqi and others, because Ga Li had shielded the corrupt magistrate Wang Shou, went to Beijing and petitioned City Patrol Censor Yuan Qiao.

橋疏聞，並言「噶禮通省錢糧加火耗十之二，分補大同、臨汾等縣虧帑，餘並以入己，得四十餘萬； Qiao reported the case and charged that "Ga Li had added a twenty-percent surcharge on provincial taxes, using part to cover county shortfalls in Datong and Linfen and keeping more than four hundred thousand for himself;

且袁橋疏得旨二日後，太原士民即具呈，顯為誣偽。 Two days after Yuan Qiao's memorial received a response, Taiyuan's petition was already ready—clearly fabricated.

尋噶禮復奏，以明奇等屢坐事走京師誣告，並辨橋、珍所言皆無據。 Ga Li soon replied that Mingqi and others, repeatedly convicted, had fled to Beijing to lodge false charges, and rebutted Qiao and Zhen as groundless.

下九卿察奏，明奇等下刑部治罪，橋、珍坐誣譴罷。 The Nine Ministers investigated: Mingqi and others were sent to the Board of Punishments, and Qiao and Zhen were dismissed for false accusation.
